TOKYO -- The Japanese government will provide support for the employment of members of the so-called "lost generation," who graduated from high school or university into a serious job crunch after the collapse of the bubble economy in the early 1990s. The government plans to draw up support measures later this month, a government source told Nikkei.
It is a rare measure to throw a lifeline to people in their mid-30s to early 40s because they fell into a difficult labor situation compared to other generations due to harsh economic conditions both at home and overseas.
